Signal from remote event isn’t received on the server

//Simplified Server Script

local Activate_Pickaxe_Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Events.RemoteEvents.Activate_Pickaxe_Event

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)

		local TouchingParts
		local ClickCooldown = false
		local debounce = false

		Activate_Pickaxe_Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
			print("received")
        end)
    end)
end)

//Full Client Script

local Pickaxe = script.Parent

local Activate_Pickaxe_Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Events.RemoteEvents.Activate_Pickaxe_Event

local LocalPlayer = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local MineAnimation = Pickaxe:FindFirstChild("MineAnimation")
local LoadedAnimation = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(MineAnimation)

local AnimationDebounce = false


Pickaxe.Activated:Connect(function()
	if not AnimationDebounce then
		AnimationDebounce = true
		Activate_Pickaxe_Event:FireServer()
		LoadedAnimation:Play()
		task.wait(0.4)
		AnimationDebounce = false
		print("fired")
	else 
		return 
	end
end)

Issue: “received” doesnt get printed, so the OnServerEvent doesnt run

Thank you

try this server script

local Activate_Pickaxe_Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Events.RemoteEvents.Activate_Pickaxe_Event

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)

		local TouchingParts
		local ClickCooldown = false
		local debounce = false

    end)
end)
Activate_Pickaxe_Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	print("received")
 end)

sometime CharacterAdded is not fired when first join player

#4

Try printing something inside the .CharacterAdded block of code (not inside the .OnServerEvent though) and see if it prints once you join.
